 NAS4Free - The Free Network Attached Storage Project

Amahi Home Server - Making Home Networking Simple NAS4Free - Wikipedia NAS4Free is a network-attached storage (NAS) server software with a dedicated management web interface (written in PHP). It is free software under the terms of the Simplified BSD license.[1] NAS4Free is the new brand name of the original FreeNAS code which was developed between 2005 and late 2011. It was released under the name NAS4Free on 22 March 2012.[2][3] Technology[edit] NAS4Free is an embedded open source NAS software distribution based on FreeBSD,[4] which developed from original FreeNAS 7 code and updated to work with the current latest FreeBSD releases.[2] Features[edit] Installation[edit] The NAS4Free status page of the WebGUI NAS4Free is installable on almost any boot media including LiveCD optionally with a small USB flash drive for config storage if necessary, both for x86-64 and x86-32 computer platforms.[5][6] NAS4Free can be installed on Compact Flash, USB flash drive, SSD, Hard drive or other bootable devices, and supports advanced formatted drives using 4kb sectors.

ZFS Raidz Performance, Capacity and Integrity Comparison July 15, 2014 comparing speed, space and safety per raidz type The ZFS file system on FreeBSD and Ubuntu Linux is incredible. ZFS has data integrity verification, protection against data corruption, support for high storage capacities, great performance, replication, snapshots and copy-on-write clones, and self healing which make it a natural choice for data storage. The most asked question we hear when talking about raids is, "Which raid is the best?" Eventually you will lose a drive and depending on the raid solution will decide if data is lost. Raids have three main benefits: Performance, Capacity and Integrity. The ASCII triangle below shows all three properties. # Raids have three main advantages over using a single disk. What are the advantages and disadvantages of each raid type ? raid0 or striping array has no redundancy, but provides the best performance and additional storage. Be Safe, Not Sorry.

FreeNAS vs NAS4Free - FreeNAS - Open Source Storage Operating System Both FreeNAS and NAS4Free are open source storage operating systems/projects based on FreeBSD and therefore support many of the same features like CIFS, SMB, AFP, and NFS sharing protocols. Each system works with OpenZFS (v5000) with feature flags, is capable of full disk encryption, and has some degree of support for virtualization. Started in October 2005 by Olivier Cochard-LabbÈ, FreeNAS is a free and open-source software network-attached storage (NAS) system based on FreeBSD and the OpenZFS file system and is licensed under the terms of the BSD License. In September 2009, the development team realized that FreeNAS would need to be completely re-written in order to incorporate modern features like a plug-in architecture, updates to the base system, and an up-to-date User Interface. NAS4Free is a free and open source project based on the original FreeNAS 0.7 code led by developers Daisuke Aoyama and Michael Zoon.

Server NAS con Nas4Free riciclando un vecchio PC | Blog di Pietro Lodi Rizzini Un buon modo per riciclare un vecchio computer è quello di utilizzarlo come server NAS (Network Attatched Storage). Esso non è altro che un dispositivo connesso alla rete che condivide con gli utenti di essa una memoria. I file salvati su di esso potranno essere visualizzati ed eventualmente modificati da tutti gli utenti della rete, anche contemporaneamente, attraverso i più svariati protocolli di comunicazione (SMB, AFP, FTP, TFTP, NFS, iSCSI …). Se hai centinaia di CD o DVD sprsi per la casa, ti farebbe comodo poterli archiviare in un unico posto, accessibile da tutti i dispositivi connessi alla rete! Abbiamo detto che i NAS sono computer… Ma allora perchè comprarli gia “assemblati” quando possiamo costruirli riciclando il nostro vecchio computer? Procedendo in questo modo avrai la possibilità di personalizzare il tuo server in base alle tue esigenze, risparmierai denaro che puoi spendere per lo storage. Uno – a mio parere – dei migliori sistemi operativi per NAS è Nas4Free. Dischi
